Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tesmarin watched as Nikolai went after the horde with blades for arms. It was obvious she was both surprised and impressed. She was a little overwhelmed by all the people talking to her at once, but she managed to keep calm and turned to the man talking about a military base.
"It's not far away, is it? No, I don't think he's been bitten, just his leg is hurt." Tesmarin rubbed at her eyes to push away her sleepiness. All the stress was getting to her rather quickly. When he started firing his weapon, she was snapped into awareness and followed after him for a bit before stopping. "What are you doing?!" She called, knowing the bullets would rile up any undead in the area.
((this is so hectic! lol))

Eros looked around at everything that was going on. "Yes that confirmed my theory." Looking at Tess. "Where is this store of yours? We should get there and set up a small camp. I have plenty of provisions for all of us and with Nikolai around I am sure we don't have to worry about those brain hungry freak." Looking more closely. "You look exhausted are you alright? We should get going." Nodding at Nikolai "Good job with the group we should get going now."

Tesmarin looked up at Eros and smiled tiredly, but as kindly as she could.
"I'm fine." She rubbed at her eyes and turned her gaze to Nikolai. "Hey, snap out of it, okay?"
Tess ran a hand through her long, brown hair and sighed deeply. She really was quite exhausted, but she couldn't relax yet. There were two people counting on her to get them to a safe place.
"It's this way. Follow me and we'll be there in no time." Tess began walking in the direction of the store she'd boarded up.
"I have some more medical supplies and some pain killers. We can take a better look at that leg." She pointed to Nikolai's leg and the place where it was injured. "By the way, what are your names? I'm Tesmarin."
She continued walking, not seeing anymore zombies in their path and thinking it was mostly safe. However, when Nikolai dashed at Eros she turned and pointed her gun at him in the blink of an eye.
"Knock it off or I will shoot and drag you to the store if I have to." Her voice went from calm and collected to dark and serious. She would do it if it meant the safety of all three. Tess wouldn't try to kill him, but if wounding him further would protect herself and Eros, she would put a bullet in Nikolai's other leg without a second thought. It was just the way her mind worked.

"Thank you so much Tesmarin for the trouble your putting yourself through to help us. My name is Eros by the way. Knowing you have medical supplies is comforting and hopefully I can fix his leg." Realizing Nikolai is dashing towards him. Eros took out his machete and blocked his blow. "What is wrong with you Nikolai! I am trying to help you! Have you gone mad?" Eros shouted.

Nikolai twitched alittle as he held the girl by her throat. "Internal Error: armor.. wear.. malfunction.." His eyes went black as he let her go and fell back, turning back to normal, naked.

Tesmarin thought she was going to die up until the exact moment Nikolai let her go. She fell to her knees and drew in breath after breath, feeling like the inside of her throat had been scrubbed with steel wool. It burned.
The skin of her neck started to swell up a dark purple color, the imprints of Nikolai's fingers were very visible and clear. Despite her extreme anger, she looked over at the boy's body then quickly looked away when she noticed he was bare.
She tried to speak, but found she couldn't. After Tess swallowed a few times to get her voice working again, she looked up at Eros.
"Can you...carry him to the store?" Her words were hoarse and very quiet, but audible. "We aren't very far. I think...there are clothes there he can wear."
She got back up and cast another glance at Nikolai, her eyes filled with both anger and a small amount of sympathy. She began walking in the direction of the store once again.
"It doesn't matter what he did...we can't leave him behind." Tess turned back and tugged Nikolai up, putting his arm around her shoulder and dragging him along.
"Come on, Eros. All the commotion is going to attract attention."

Taking Nikolai from Tess. "Don't worry I have him you just take it easy." Eros said as he dragged Nikolai toward the store. "I kind of feel bad for the guy. He just went crazy." Looking down to Nikolai. "At least what he did explains why his leg had wires and a broken metal spike sticking out of his leg."
